So I started reading a wonderful book on gender roles from a biblical viewpoint (Strauch, Alexander Men and Women - Equal Yet Different ). It includes biblical passages highlighting gender roles and some reference to various authors who have studies out on the controversial topic. It really forced me to question my heart in matters of the home and relationships. So here I am... Sharing this rediscovery both good points and very fallen sinful points. I hope that this can be enlightening - in that there really is sound points from God's own plan of just what it is to be Woman, encouraging - to know that we all struggle and maybe we struggle in some of the same things (we can pray for Jesus to "open the eyes of our hearts"), and truly honest - sometimes I realize that I am not being truly honest about what is in my heart, whether that is out of denial, shame, or just plain old ignorance.
